Frm Badrinath Ki Dulhania to Toilet ek prem katha, It is that films with a hinterland connect are increasingly striking a chord with the audience.
Bitti Mishra(Kirti Sanon) is spunky, ciggrette smoking, break dancing girl, who stick out like a sore thumb in the small town of Bareilly.With two bbroken engagements and countless rejections, finding a groom for her seems like Mission Impossible.Just when a hopeless Bitti is running away from home, she comes across Barelly Ki Barfi, a trasy novel that seems to be written about her.
Trouble is the novel was written by Chirag Dubey(Ayushman Khurrana) after getting his heart broken.Not wanting to defame his beloved by using his own name, he credited his friend, Pritam Vidrohi(Rajkummar Rao), as the author.When Bitti comes looking for pritam, Chirag loses his heart to her.He trains Pritam t be the kind man that Bitti will instantly dislike, but things dont quite go according to plan.
The strength of Barelly Ki Barfi is its cast.Kirti Sanon small town girl act, Ayushman looks effortless & Rajkumar rao steals the show as the timid salesman.
The songs are likable, with the romantic Nazm Nazm & The catchy Sweety Tera Drama.
Ashwini Iyer brings us another engaging watch.There is no dull moment in the film.
